I just came across this video on youtube and it got me thinking. My grandma always swore by the hard stuff for getting you thoroughly clean - Izal medicated was her favourite if I remember rightly and there was trouble if her supply ever dried up, pages of the 'Northern Echo' would be torn out while on the pot, as a makeshift substitute I suppose - that pragmatic thriftiness characteristic of the war generation. Took a roll on holiday with her too just in case the hotel supplied that new-fangled soft stuff she couldn't fathom. I don't think she ever managed to use it without pushing a fingernail through the wetted material.

Any truth in the idea that hard is better?
